Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>Tectonic Shift evolved from my desire to examine the role that science has played in my life: as a student, a Jewish American, a friend, a daughter, a writer. My personal search for an understanding of the world around me is what ties together the pieces in Tectonic Shift. In these pages I explore everything from my views on creative nonfiction to my burgeoning fossil collection, all in the context of my larger quest to understand myself and my place in the world.</p> <p>The question I set out to answer in the following pages—how have my ADHD diagnosis and my subsequent love affair with science helped to shape the young woman I have become?—is one that has framed much of my thinking in the years since I completed my undergraduate degree. Before my diagnosis, I did not consider my mind a refuge I could escape into to save myself from the chaos of the world around me. But after my diagnosis I discovered salvation in science.</p>
